Gross

After check-in, which took a long time, we found out the pool was closed. That was disappointing. The room was okay, beds are comfy. The walls need touch-ups and the toilet ran at night. We slept ok and the breakfast was nice, lots of options. The room was pretty quiet. There were stains on the carpet and some carpet torn in one spot. It looks like they're doing some renovations, but no signs are up informing customers. As we did a final sweep to check for forgotten items, I noticed the mattress protector on one bed had gotten pulled out and had dried feces on it. Or what looked like feces. It was totally disgusting and we were grossed out. There was nobody at the front desk so we didn’t tell the staff. We should have taken the refund when she offered at check out and stayed somewhere else. Only reason I gave some stars was the bed were comfortable and the free breakfast was decent. Had we seen the feces on the mattress protector prior to check-out we would not have stayed.

Super gross room. Was told we were being moved rooms. Had concert tickets so just dropped our bags after we checked in and headed out the door. When we came back at midnight we discovered this is what the room looked like and there was no one at the front desk. Super disappointed. Have emailed the hotel with no response back

Upon arrival the front desk attendants were courteous and friendly. They had a fan on the countertop blowing on them to stay cool. The air conditioning was not working. The first room they sent us to was so wet from inadequate ventilation flow. The floor looked as though it was just mopped and moisture was dripping off the refrigerator and bathroom toilet and shower walls. The bedding was damp. They moved us quickly into another room which was better. However, the lights didn’t work. There were ceiling tiles removed in the hallway.

When I arrived, I was check into a room that really did not meet my standards. I went back to the front desk, told her my concerns and she spoke to the manager. the manager showed me a different room and then went above and beyond to make sure all of my needs were meant. I would not have stayed had it not been for her! She was fantastic! It just goes to show that if you take a positive approach with management and give them a chance to resolve the issues you have, you just might be surprised at how well they do. I would give the staff, especially the Manager at this hotel an A++

Took over 1 hr to check in, we reserved 2 rooms, first try she put all of us in same room, then 2 different rooms, keys didn't work. Had to go back get keys to work, hall was full of rocks, dirt, the room smelled horrendous and was dirty. We went back asked for refund told had to send us check? Then found out charged wrong card, couldn't fix or give receipt. I expect a full refund.
